So what I'm wanna do hopefully is
I wanna be- (a straight soldier)
I'm-, I-, I-, not I wanna be, I am Tupac Shakur
Tupac 2005
Guess who's back
Guess who's back
Guess who's back
Guess who's back
Everywhere I see, a soldier, a soldier
Everywhere I see, a soldier like me
Everywhere I see, a soldier, a soldier
Everywhere I see, a soldier like me
Everywhere I see, a soldier, a soldier
Everywhere I see, a soldier like me
Everywhere I see, a soldier, a soldier
Everywhere I see, a soldier like me
Posse deep as I roll through the streets
Motherf- the police, as we creep in our Jeeps
Laying so low, you'd think I'm asleep
But at the slightest beef, I'm robbing - of their teeth
And OPD can get the - if they play tough
Last time them - rushed me
I ain't -, but now I'm touchy, trust me
Ain't nothing jumping but these -
- Got enough knocks, I'm - at corrupt cops
Them motherf- catch a hot one
You wanted to start a problem
Now you coward cops have got one
And there's no prison that can hold a
Motherf- soldier, ready to roll and take control
So now I jack 'em while they sleeping
Roll to the door, throw a - in the precinct
Some people panic, brothers bugged out
I had to keep -, 'cause there's no stopping till they - out
And their vests don't protect from the head wounds
Reload ammunition's and them - will be dead soon
Smoke rising from the -
I finally got revenge, now count -
20 cops, one for every year in jail
Trying to keep a - down, but shit fails
Before I let you take me, I told you
- Being trapped, I'm a soldier
I bet you that I got something you ain't got (everywhere I see, a soldier, a soldier)
That's called courage (everywhere I see, a soldier like me)
It don't come from no liquor bottle (everywhere I see, a soldier, a soldier)
It ain't Scotch, it's not bourbon (everywhere I see, a soldier like me)
I don't walk around like no G (everywhere I see, a soldier, a soldier)
'Cause that ain't me, I'm not that person (everywhere I see, a soldier like me)
I don't try to act like you do (everywhere I see, a soldier, a soldier)
'Cause that ain't you, you just frontin', you ain't - (everywhere I see, a soldier like me)
It's Tupac and the mad -
In the six-four rag on them thangs, that's a bad -
Getting ghost on them - in the town
- Out the back seat, -, when we clown
Homie, is you down? Dee got the - and she anxious
Hurry up 'fore she spank -
Coming round the corner -, they can't hold me down
Caught them sucker-ass - out of bounds
Now tell me how that sound? A double date laced with hate
Make 'em pray for the Judgment day
Now tell me how that sound? A double date laced with hate
Make 'em pray for the Judgment day, stinkin' -
I bet you that I got something you ain't got (everywhere I see, a soldier, a soldier)
That's called courage (everywhere I see, a soldier like me)
It don't come from no liquor bottle (everywhere I see, a soldier, a soldier)
It ain't Scotch, it's not bourbon (everywhere I see, a soldier like me)
I don't walk around like no G (everywhere I see, a soldier, a soldier)
'Cause that ain't me, I'm not that person (everywhere I see, a soldier like me)
I don't try to act like you do (everywhere I see, a soldier, a soldier)
'Cause that ain't you, you just frontin', you ain't - (everywhere I see, a soldier like me)
It's Tupac
Everywhere I see, a soldier, a soldier
Everywhere I see, a soldier like me
Everywhere I see, a soldier, a soldier
Everywhere I see, a soldier like me
